Yes, the only two options are ads and the CIA.

I think a lot of us find the CIA more amoral and destructive than adtech by the way.

I understand that view, and I think history will show just how terribly wrong it is.

The machinations of the CIA don't even begin to compare to the long-term ills that social-media and screen addiction are going to cause all over the world over the next few decades.

I mean, Youtube and its recommendation algorithms alone have via radicalisation set the USA on a path to destruction from within. Throw in Twitter with their mob bubbles and it's beyond redemption.

Well I definitely don't want to get into a "which thing is more bad" argument, but the CIAs crimes are really well documented too.
